Autonomous Mobile Robots in Automotive Remanufacturing: A Case Study for Intra-Logistics Support

Abstract

The article focuses on the role of modern logistics 4.0 technologies and lean management in optimizing ancillary processes in intralogistics. The literature review presents critical aspects of intralogistics, including using autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and the challenges associated with their successful implementation. The article also discusses the concepts of Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0. highlighting the importance of synergies between workers and advanced technologies. In optimizing logistics processes, the authors emphasize the importance of lean management and tools such as 5S and Kaizen. The authors analyze the research gap related to the organization of auxiliary processes, intralogistics, and the introduction of modern technologies. The lack of good practices and strategies for implementing new technologies for ancillary processes makes this a critical issue for managers and production engineers. The article provides practical strategies that can be implemented in companies. It is a valuable resource for managers seeking to manage intralogistics and effectively improve support processes in manufacturing plants. In summary, the article provides a comprehensive look at modern approaches to optimizing support processes in internal logistics. It highlights the importance of integrating modern logistics technologies with lean management principles, which can increase companies' efficiency and competitiveness.

The Drivers of Complexity in Inventory Management Within the Healthcare Industry

“…Future areas of research that can be further explored are 1) Internet of Things (IoT) for full connectivity, 2) cloud technology for hybrid work in particular, 3) artificial intelligence/machine learning for enhancement of inventory management operation (Burakhanova et al, 2023 andlmarzoqi &Albakjaji, 2022), 4) utilizing data analytics for predictive selection (Lalou et al, 2020), 5) automating warehouses in order to reduce labor in inventory management (Jaradat et al, 2016), and 6) using AVGs and AMRs to improve automation and ensure lean operation in inventory management (Pizoń et al, 2024).…”
